  • Why has radio not picked up this song?!?!?

  • This song just being dedicated to The Troops makes it the best

    You can not fathom the wish and want that we feel to see you again

    Merry Christmas from across the Ocean Semper Fi

  • Rick has made this song so beautiful and real. To close your eyes and listen. God bless to all our troops.Come home soon

  • this is one of the many reasons Rick is my hero and has been most of my life, he's real, i am so honored to have met him, and shook his hand

  • BTW he is in this video....

  • RIP PFC Daniel P. Cagle.

    You will NEVER be forgotten my friend. We all love you and know you will protect us. Take care and I hope to see you soon.

  • He is a total class act. He can't do anything wrong in my eyes. i am buying this!

  • very touching Christmas song, very deep! love it

  • Gosh this is just so beautiful. It's heart warming, special, sweet, lovely, Christmassy and giving. I hope everyone gives it a watch/listen.

  • This song is so wonderful. I read your book, and Elvis forgives you. Leaving a dog is heartbreaking. I think you have made up for it in many ways. 

  • Great wonderful song and a great wonderful tribute to all who served their land and died in the line of duty.I hope they all may rest in the arms of our god.I hope this war will come to an end,so all these soldiers men and women can come home to their loveones and share this Christmas together.Thank you for posting and I wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy NewYear.

  • The best Christmas song ever !

  • Comment removed

  • Ty! All of my troops, men and women that I worry about daily are all safe on US soil except one that I need to check the status on. I have no guarantees for Christmas for at least 4 years as my nephew takes a long tour, unless he is stateside between posts during Dec of 2011.

    I cry tears of sadness for those that gave the ultimate sacrifice and tears of joy for each completed tour by those I love. Lots of tears this week/month as so many come home!

  • rick springfield rules. much better music than the crap we hear nowadays, like lady gaga. ugh. is that what passes for music these days?

  • I love this video. My friend Daniel Cagle is pictured at 3:38,3:39.he was killed in Iraq 23 May 2007. I grew up with him as a friend and as close to a brother as you can get. I miss him dearly, but know that he died doing what he felt was right. We love you Danny. It has been 3 years but we all know you are still here with us, protecting us just like you did in life. Take care my friend. One day we shall meet again.

  • Rick !!... 28 years later I still in love with you !!

    I am sure, he is thinking of his dad when he sings this which makes it even more special.

  • Realy?It`s great cause I come from there!Although Czechoslovakia doesn`t exist any more.CS separated into two absolutely independent states.:Slovakia and Czech republic 15 years ago.Wow the years flash by..Anyway I live in Slovakia now and I absolutely luv Rick Springfield`s music.His the latest CD Venus in Overdrive is awesome!

  • I live in Prague CZ. Yes, sometimes we must live a great history...

  • S tym suhlasim,ale inak si mohol odpisat aj v rodnom jazyku, ja by som rozumela. :-)

    PS: Vcera mal Rick Springfield narodky - 59!

    Happy Birthday to Rick Springfield!!!!

  • Promiň, nenapadlo mě to. Jak se tam máš v tom "zahraničí"? Stejně jsem to pořád nepřijal...

  • Celkom fajn,ale uz sa chystam spat.Este si znova vypocujem tento song a idem chrniet.Inak tiez si myslim,ze sme mohli fungovat ako spolocny stat.Moj otec je totiz Moravak a mama Slovenka (z Liptova),no a ja s bratom sme sa uz narodili na Slovensku.

    PS:Uz si pocul novy Springfieldov album Venus in Overdrive?Podla mna je super.Ten clovek je ako vino,cim starsi,tym lepsi.

  • ma super prirovnani ! cim starsitim lepsi :D to me rozesmalo :D ale je to svata pravda!!! jsem rada, ze jsem konecne objevila nekoho z CR, kdo ma tayk rad Ricka ♥

  • @wolverin554213853

    Napodobne. Az na to, ze ja som Slovenka.Inak, niektori moji znamy si myslia, ze mam cudny vkus. :-) Ale tato Springfieldova pesnicka je fakt vydarena, este mi zostava zohnat jej kopiu.

    "So I pray to heaven, sweet mother and child, the my only wish will come true.. :-)

  • :) tak nevadí, ze Slovenka, vsak jsme byli spojeni :D Ale neco ti povim, nekteri moji znamy taky rikaji ze se jim Springfield nelibi, ale me je to jedno :D me se libi jeho pisnicky strasne moc a svuj nazor teda menit nebudu:)

  • Rick rocks!!!!!!!

  • I think Rick is a real class act.  Supporting our troops in this song! He is a reall class act!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 5/5 i love this man.....

  • Very nice song. so nice how he dressed respectively in this video. he is still as good looking as ever too.

  • This song was not meant to be political; it was intended as a tribute. It's heartfelt and beautiful. Just get your ego out of the way and listen to it...

  • Bingo! If one can't accept the heartfelt message of the lyrics, just listen to the harmony of the guitar and the violin, it's very relaxing.

  • I went to his concet last saturday..We stayed a a hyatt hotel and he was in the hotel room next to us..I got a couple auto graphs and talked to him...

  • God Bless you Mr. Springfield! Your song is

    beautiful and thank you for supporting our

    troops.

  • I love this song alot, The lyrics are beautiful :). I have this song on my phone!!

    Rick Springfield is my fave singer

    Rick u rok

  • The war on Iraqis is being waged by theocrats and fascistic terrorists. US forces are currently in Iraq at the REQUEST of the DEMOCRATICALLY elected Government of Iraq, to help PROTECT the Iraqi people from the terrorists who routinely target masses of innocent civilians.

    You might not care what the Iraqi people want, but you should learn about the reasons US forces remain in Iraq before you post.

  • Soldiers follow orders. They will go where the command tells them to go. If you have a problem with the issues of Iraq, blame the one who sends the soldiers there. Soldiers are not cowards like you who will abandon their post just because they don't believe in the reason of the war. Yes, there will always be casualties of war and innocent people die, but that is not the soldiers fault. So to all cowards you better shut up.

  • Better being an innocent coward than a murdering marionette! Actually it is absolutely not brave just to follow orders and pretending being not responsible. Wake up, machine!

  • Better being an innocent coward than a murdering marionette! Actually it is absolutely not brave just to follow orders and pretending being not responsible. Wake up, machine!

  • You don't sound like a man! If you are a woman I apologize.

  • As the mother of 2 U.S.Marines I thank Rick Springfield for this song. I wish everyone would support the troops like this.

  • i´m sorry for you having your sons down there, but woudn´t it be better supporting them by taking them home, out of non-american iraq? supporting them leaving the army?

  • I agree with you so much, for some reason conservatives think that if you don't agree with the war happening that that makes you unpatriotic or anti-american but it's not about that, we all love our country, we are just so tired of innocent people dying.

  • @usmcmomof2 A very special song. May God bless your sons/daughters and all those serving their countries.

  • This is my more favourite christmas so in the world. I love Rick Springfield's music!!

  • This brought tears to my eyes and made me love Rick Springfield even more than I do now ~ as if that is possible! ;-)

  • This is an absolutely beautiful song and video. The picture of the handsome guy in the top left hand corner at 2:24 is a dear friend that was killed last year...to see his picture in this video and know he is remembered in such a big way is amazing! My husband is also a Marine and gone for Christmas again, he's on his 3rd deployment, knowing that our troops are remembered and honored like this is one of the best things someone could do! Thank you Rick Springfield!

  • What a beautiful song, I'm a Marine sister... It means a lot to know that there are people who appreciate what they're doing!

  • really moves spirit...this song!

  • Just another reason to love Rick Sprinfield! As if I needed it. :) He is very genuine!

  • Rick... as an "old" fan and a mother of a Stryker/Infantry Soldier that spent 16 months in Iraq and made it home, from my heart, I thank you for this song. Thank you for caring for our Military and their families! Merry Christmas!

  • AWESOME! As a wife of a military member, I cannot thank Rick enough for this incredible song. If only every American supported our soldiers this much. Thanks Rick!

  • Thanks Rick!! I wish more artists would band together (no pun intended) and support all of our service personnel that were killed wounded ar are still serving and cannot be home with their families.

    Remember, only 2 people have died for you, one was Jesus Christ, and the other is an American soldier.

    My cousin 1st Lt. Rob Seidel III is in this video at 41 42 and 43 seconds.

  • I was born in this year(1982), but I luv his music, too!

  • Wow! I feel old! LOL

    Seriously, though, it's great to know that Rick's music appeals to fans of all ages. My kids are 3 and 7 and they love him too. Although, I admit, I had a little to do with that...lol

  • Oh,no!Your kids are too young,so you cannot be old.I like the old music so much,it doesn`t depend on kind of music.Also some kind of the current music,for ex. Take That(former boyband,now they all are adult and good looking men between 35-40,they make better music then before).

  • This is an amazingly beautiful tribute, and a wonderful song. I'm very grateful to Rick for taking the time, and putting his full heart and effort into something so wonderful. The entire CD is completely great. Thanks again for posting.

  • This is by far the best thing on Youtube. RS is so unbelievably talented and for him to give the proceeds to the fallen soldier's families shows what a gracious human being he is. RS is a hottie, sounds great and the violinist looks absolutely stunning. Bravo RS for a perfect Christmas gift to us all.
